From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/18145.
What is the user problem or growth opportunity you want to see solved?
As described in the Web Notifications API standard, the browser should support a silent flag for notifications:
serviceWorkerRegistration.showNotification('Example', { silent: true })Currently Firefox ignores this flag and always plays a sound.
How do you know that this problem exists today? Why is this important?
At Pushpad we received requests from customers for this option. Chrome and derivates already support it and should be easy to implement in Firefox.
Who will benefit from it?
Users will benefit from it since they can receive updates that are not time-sensitive, without disturbing them for each notification.
Please fix this since it is important for the user experience: e.g. a web app may want to mute a conversation, or a news website prefers to disable the sound since notifications are not urgent, etc.

Since this bug is about the Web Notifications API, the GeckoView component might be a better place for this bug.
